installing urllib in Python 3.6 fails - confusion with Python 2.7
installing urllib in Python3.7 - here i have encountered issues
I would like to import urllib to use the function 'request'.
However, I encountered an error when trying to do so. I tried pip install urllib but still had the same error. I am using Python 3.7.x Really appreciate any help. i do import urllib.request using this following code:
import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error
fhand = urllib.request.urlopen(')
counts = dict()
for line in fhand: words = line.decode().split()
for word in words: counts[word] = counts.get(word, 0) + 1
print(counts) but it gives me this error: ModuleNotFoundError:
No Module named 'urllib.parse'; 'urllib' is not a packageif i look at this page:
they recomend to install this way:
pip install urllib3if i do so i get back this:
root@mx:/home/martin# pip install urllib3
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (1.24.1)
root@mx:/home/martin# ^C
root@mx:/home/martin# well this is funny - since it points out some path to python 2.7
Alternatively, the manpage ( ) suggests to go this way: grab the latest source code from GitHub:
$ git clone git://
$ python setup.py installthis i did not try yet! But i will do so
by the way: i allways thoguth that urllib is a standard python library (built-in) so you don't have to install it.
just import it if you need to use request by:
import urllib.request
